What is Weiner going to do with NYC campaign money?

Former congressman Anthony Weiner is sitting on nearly $4.5 million in the account he set up to run for New York City mayor. What the Democrat plans to do with the cash is anyone's guess.

CNN's Political Ticker blog and National Journal reported Tuesday that Weiner, who resigned from the U.S. House amid a sexting scandal, continues to pay rent on office space. Weiner paid lawyers and the phone bill, bought a computer hard drive and wrote a check to GoDaddy.com for "domain hosting," according to news stories. Campaign finance disclosure forms were published Tuesday.

The New York City Campaign Finance Board estimates there is $4,464,042 left in Weiner's campaign account. That's a tidy sum if he wanted to make a political comeback and run for the office he has long coveted.

Weiner made an unsuccessful bid in 2005 for the Democratic mayoral nomination and was viewed as a front-runner to succeed Michael Bloomberg -- until the congressman was forced to admit he sent lewd photos of himself to women via Facebook and Twitter. Weiner resigned in June 2011.

New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn has socked away $5.3 million in her mayoral campaign account, according to a Wall Street Journal report, which would put her on top of the list of Democratic candidates in terms of cash on hand.
